Norwest Carpentry in Kununurra refined its pricing, understood its numbers and set up its systems with Tamika. The results spoke for themselves.
For carpenters it is usually pricing: charging for skill and finish rather than hours. Then the systems to track jobs and the confidence to say no to the wrong ones.
Coaching is one-on-one with Tamika, online, wherever you are in Australia. Weekly calls and help between them.
Carpenters sell skill and finish, and most price it as hours. That is why beautiful work ends up priced like a favour. Coaching changes the model: what the job is worth to the client, what it costs you to do it properly, and how to say that number with confidence.
Alongside pricing we set up simple job tracking so you know which jobs made money and which did not, and we build the confidence to turn down the work that never does. Norwest Carpentry in Kununurra went through exactly this with Tamika.
Hourly rates and material markups both hide your real margin. Here is how to price trade work from your true cost per productive hour, with a worked example.
